Learn the 5 Mistakes in Nutrition That You Have to Avoid

Eating improperlyIn today's society people are always in stress or
in some kind of rush. There is no time for food. You just take it as
something that needs to be done, not something that should be
enjoyed.Would like to enjoy every bite of your lunch? Then don't rush
it. Eat it slowly. Make it your goal to find time for the food during
the day and really enjoy what you eat. Don't eat just, because it's
time for lunch. It's easy to fall into the common paradigm of eating
in certain time. Even if you don't have time you just thing that if
you would "skip the meal" it would kill you. Which is a complete
nonsense of course. This has to do a lot with your beliefs, which have
been shaped throughout the years and many times by other people who
just had no idea what are they saying.You can easily end up eating
fast food, eating in your car, eating while walking, eating quickly
because you have an appointment or you name it.It's a pretty good idea
to develope a rule that you don't eat anytime while you are under the
stress, there's a lot of work to do and no free time. Also you are not
at least a little bit hungry and I don't care if it's "Breakfast time"
or "Lunch time".Another bad habit can be eating when you are in
depression or just in a bad mood. This is something that obese people
tend to struggle. Because when you are depressed food can have similar
effect as an alcohol. You can get an impression that you are suddenly
comfortable, relaxed, every problems are solved, you are feeling great
etc. But then you get to the tough reality. This can result in
constant overeating, because you are just trying to eat to the better
mood.Than one day you woke up a realize that you need serious help. Be
aware of this overeating cycle and if you are doing this on regular
basis you need to interrupt this pattern.Ask yourself will this food
help me in the long term? If not, don't eat it and focus on doing
something that will put you in the better mood.Try to do more with
moreWhat do I mean by that? For example the common belief that you
have to eat 6 meals per day to loose weight. Lets say your RMR is
1800kcal and you try to split it to the 6 meals, that means 300 kcal
per meal. What meal is that? 1/3 of small steak and one big potato?
Big slice of bread and slice of cheese? Large coffee with milk and
sugar. Do you call this a meal?Than it's obvious why are you still
hungry and experiencing "cravings", because when you get this small
meal to your body it's just not enough and you want to eat more. So
rather split these 1800 calories into two chunks and take them
throughout the day, and yeas you can do it in the "Lunch and Dinner
time" if it suits your lifestyle.Not tracking only assumingIf you only
assume what you are eating and not really keeping some sort of
records, than this might be the reason why you have gained 20 pounds
over the last two years. If you want to loose weight, calculate your
RMR* and deduct at least 400 kcal, eat according to that and start
tracking every food you eat.If you are trying to maintain your weight,
which is something that you should only do when you have visible abs
(but it's your call) you can just eat slightly under (let's say
around) your RMR.*RMR - Resting Metabolic Rate - It is the amount of
calories your body uses daily when it's resting.(It doesn't matter if
you calculate RMR or BMR, if not measured in lab, the numbers will be
almost identical)Get caught by myths and are not willing to do the in
depth researchYou can often get caught by large range of myths. If
it's simple thing like eating less, you want to have a complex
solution to the problem, some fancy diet that it's even impossible to
follow more than for a one week. If it's something that takes a lot of
effort and time like building muscles, you are searching for quick and
instant fix like some new supplement.Example could be a " New night
protein that you definitely need to have if you want to build a killer
body, because if you don't take it there's even no point of going to
the gym, right?" Similar things you can see at the covers of fitness
magazines or supplements. It's attacking directly your feelings and
rely on the fact that you don't have any further knowledge so it's
easy to trick you into buying (in reality useless) stuff.It's in the
human nature, so nobody can blame you for it, but it's time for you to
take control over your life. Start with simple things like not buying
supplements (except creatine) and stop reading fitness magazines or
websites that provides just new 60 rules of eating every month.But if
you like rules, then I have on for you, always try to find some
research that would support the theory or at least some evidence.
Never follow the theory itself.Being obsessed by foodThis could be
eating in the "Lunch time" like we've already discussed.Or just
thinking about what to eat, when to eat, how much of it too eat and
that you are so concern about the food. You cannot get done anything
else or you are stressed about it and you end up overeating. Rule of
thumb here is to make it simple. Set amount of calories (less than
your RMR) and hold on to it.
